Deliver the Goods.

If there were fi:ty wa:s in England we want our country. ,'\ e have fed on promises in t~mes .of peace, we are ll.v1l1.g on promises 111 times of war, but It 1.S time these promises were fulfilled, It is time to give up the apologetic tone in asking. what is ours, to give up the whine in seeking freedom.

From every part of Ireland those whose sympathies h~lVe. always been against national aspirations weep over "the Empire" and pray that Ireland's demand should be stayed until the crisis is over. The present is a more acute crisis for Irelad than even for "the Empire;" it is the crisis which will decide om fate for centuries. That Ireland was at war with England as sjie has been for centnries did not influence the Empire to mitigate the rigours of English law here.

Now wlien England is at war abroad there is no reason why we should not pursue our course towards nationality.

UNDERTAKER And CARRIAGE PROPRIETOR, 54 Angier's Street, DUBLIN. Telephone-No. 12. 'l'nnted

i'he Ingean Dhu, in spite of .her respect for poets and poetry, was forced to laugh at the young clansmans perfect imitation of Gilla .Isa's speech and manner; and, 1\,;t11 the laltogh, the load which the terrible events of the night had presscd u.pon her heart was lightened.

The girl was used to hear the clash of arms; and since the war broke out it h.ad been her fate to look on many a dead and mutilated body, not onlw of fighting men ill their war-like gear, but of helpless women and little children. massacred in their- poor beds, on the hillsides or in the fields, by Devil Harniltcn and his inhuman crew.

Usage lessens the horror of such thรกings, even for the young arid delicate; but on this occasion there was no need for mourning; the gilrs' friends were all safe, and. she had Deen. spared the shock of looking on the bodi es of her fallen eriel:~ies, which .1:1.:, fa,r~he~ down th s g-Ien road. Her. spun.s tOS~ WIth a slI.dden WIld and ecstatic bound to th.~ full joyance of t re occaston=-tne g I'OIJO\lS success 0 f tlIC Homeric combat waged in her defence; the safety of her friends, none of whom were seriously i njnred : the capture of a man whom she justly rezarded as her . . c most active and danzerous enemy: above :111 these the return "'of the youn;" Knizht of Clencar; above this still. - the ,.,,, f act that his word had first f'ashed in his native glen-for her! and above everything. that he was there with her; she sat close behind him on his noble white steed, one hand hOldin!l'. his silken sash, tbe other clasped in his!

She laughed .again-'l sudden, bubbling, irppling Iaugb, so full of wild music that the tall, blossoming reeds seemed t~ shake and vibrate in its sou nd ; it seemed to leap and laugh from wavelet to wavelet across the glimmering lake, ringing through the starlit air like a fairy call, and wakening to fresh, glad, new life ail things touched by its noee of joy. .< I'm gJa,d I made her bugh, anyhow," thongh Hugh )IacCahill; "it's seldom eno\ugh .the laugh comes to her now:ldays; though, bennadt Dia leaรกt, รกthe Ingean Dhu has the sweetest bugh I e\'er heard; Jt puts the light 111 one's heart to 1;st-.:n '0 her." <, Knight of (;lencar," said the In~e:m Dhu, <. you ha\"J never ye~ asked wlllther we are going." <_ .:\'o_,' returned the Knight w:th a smile, "for. I fear that, like the fair tr3.veller's nam'l, ;bel' oest,na.twn h!.g.h,t als'() be ,:I. mystery into which II was not pri,ileged to inquire." . " Then I will tell you, sir.
